“Joe Brown’s Cafe is a charming vintage, locally owned spot that delivers breakfast with heart and flavor. The cozy, quaint atmosphere makes it feel like community the moment you walk in, somewhere between small town diner and nostalgic truck stop but it works 😂 . Breakfast is standout; classic comfort food done right. What truly sets Joe’s apart is the attentive and friendly staff. The cafe is refreshingly well-staffed, and it shows in the smooth, efficient service. If you’re looking for a laid-back, reliably great meal in a nostalgic setting, Joe’s is a great stop.“

“First time there. Great experience. Had a Reuben with tator tots and it was delicious! Price is reasonable, portions large and took home half for later. Short line for seating. Menu has something for everyone. Just a really good place to go!“

“Amazing service. Ordered to go from young latino host- lemme say- that young man nailed it. Super friendly. Gave all the sides and sauces one could fathom with a meal. Even extra utensils. Great awareness and friendliness.
I'd go back souly based on this young man's attitude and customer service. Give Him a raise- that dudes got it. !“

“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!“

“Walked up to this place with no expectations. Felt like the menu was a little boring and not expecting much. Got my sandwich and have now found my new favorite breakfast sando. English muffin was more like a homemade cross between a muffin and a biscuit. Sausage patty is thick, juicy with hints of rosemary. I just wish they had a better selection of hot sauce. Will be back next weekend.“

“Food! Service! Atmosphere! And Feeling the immediate homey comfort by staff and customers, was just what two weary travelers needed. Met our niece there for breakfast and totally a joy of a cross country trip. Have been in many places across the U S A; and this one is one of major memorable treats. BTW my niece talked me into to trying your Fabulous (Homemade) Green Monster Sauce on my egg omelette and I havent stopped talking or looking for a duplicate since visiting Portland and I live in Ohio! If any one is reading this as a world traveler, believe me when I tell you If you live, or travel in this area, you gotta treat yourself to one of their fabulous stomach filing delicious entries. Really!. Bravo, I never write any kind of reviews in the possitive, I'm old, so I bitch alot. HAHA; But this place so worth the time, the price and contributing to a small family business. Which I totlally look for in any area I visit. I totally believe in supporting family owned local businesses...not the big Guys! Bravo Midpoint. If I lived in the area you'd know me by name as a regular! God Bless. And hope this will inspire the owner into marketing her Green Monster Sauce. One of the best out there.

“You might have to wait a long time because this place is insanely popular. But trust me, this is well worth the wait. I waited 25 minutes, but the impatience I accrued from waiting quickly evaporated the second I bit into my Yolko Ono Deluxe. Ive been going to this place for years and the quality has stayed so consistent. 🫶“

“I tried a waffle with an egg on top and a side of hashbrowns, and it honestly blew me away. The waffle was light and fluffy, with just the right texture, and the egg on top added a really nice savory balance without overpowering it. The hashbrowns were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. I can tell the owner put a lot of thought into his recipes; everything worked together so well. Highly recommend stopping by yourself or with a couple of friends!“

“Great breakfast spot! It's always so nice to actually get a solid amount of food (and, good food!) for your money - it's rare we have leftovers from breakfast, and we both did with our meals at Rocket! Also, the Heist food cart & food hall area is such a cool space - looking forward to returning.“

“This place was phenomenal, I came to the food pod on 5tt Ave, and I wanted to try out. You know, variety of things, and then I came across Java Rising Calf. I got their spice apple and OMG, you guys, if you haven't yet, this place is a must try.
Stop their waffles. Which is the base for all their dishes? Was cook to perfection, crispy, golden, and the outside soft, warm, and inside. You mix that up with the spiced. Apple's, the whipped cream, and they have something on top of that whipped crime. I should have asked what it was, but the combination of all those items together just, it was an orgy in my mouth... I forgot I had other foods, I licked the plate, guys.
I dare. to even say I was disappointed at every other food car I tried. I got a lot of food. I came there with a mission, and only one place satisfied my expectations, what I was looking for, right. I pretty much tried about 6 food courts and none of them war satisfactory in both flavor execution, and even though I had it in a togo container. Their Plating, I mean, the way the Sun hit it just right, It was like the holy growl... .it looked like a holograph pier gold, and it's all glory.
Thank you, guys, for being open that day. It was quite the experience, and I can't wait to come back once a week and try the rest of the menu🤩😁🤩😁🤩😁🫰“

“Whenever I’m in Portland I make sure I have breakfast at Elmer’s before I leave. Our server was Brittany, she was very helpful, friendly and efficient. I will return in March and look forward to dining at Elmer’s again.“

“I love this place! I've been here twice and I always have a good experience! It's the perfect size and never too crowded, the food is amazing and you get a good amount for the money. I've had Leah as my server each time and she's super friendly and on top of things while not being over attentive. My only thing I don't love is the bench seating is kinda uncomfortable.“

“Bagel was decent cream cheese is fake it was Newfoundland there was dirt everywhere all you have to do is look up it's completely dirty there's hair and grease everywhere if you look anything above the food line it's completely gross they should be reported to the Health Board the coffee was nasty I drank one sip through to it the bagel was decent but they need to clean and tell people that the cream cheese they're using is not cream cheese this Newfoundland I paid for more cream cheese and they put it heavy in front and then tilted it to where there was less in the middle and back so I did not get what I paid for it overall the experience left me mad for $8“

“We ordered 50 breakfast burritos for the morning after my wedding, and they were a huge hit! They reheated well in the oven, and folks loved that we had accommodations for our vegan and dairy-free guests. The burritos did not skimp on filling, and did not lack in seasoning. Knowing that we would be reheating these, we ordered the pico and avocado on the side for folks to add after we took them out of the oven. So satisfying and yummy!“

“I don't know why I gave the atmosphere 3 I think it's because it seems kind of outdated. However the service and food completely make up for it. The house bloody Mary is the best I've had in a long time. $6.50 nice price as well. 👍👍👍“
